Excuse me.
3:11:57
Thank you for that response.
3:11:59
How much is a Wassa funded by the state and for which fiscal year?
Masha Gindler
3:12:06
We're funded through the end of the state, the school year.
3:12:10
And we're funded for our full programming, which comes out to just under 5,000,000 a month.
Alexa Avilés
3:12:18
I'm sorry.
3:12:18
Say that one more time.
Masha Gindler
3:12:20
We're funded through the end of the state fiscal year.
3:12:24
And so if I should get back to the current accurate numbers, but it's around 40,000,000 that we've received, so that we are funded for so far, which will take us through the end of the state fiscal year.
Alexa Avilés
3:12:34
So 40,000,000 Mhmm.
3:12:37
For the state fiscal year.
3:12:40
And which groups of which organizations will be funded through those resources?
Masha Gindler
3:12:50
So that is the state's funding of the Sound Education Health Center's operations since November.
Alexa Avilés
3:12:57
Oh, just for the asylum help center?
3:12:59
Yeah.
3:12:59
Exactly.
3:12:59
Nothing else.
3:13:00
So it doesn't include any legal representation for any of those.
3:13:04
How many app asylum applications?
3:13:07
Has also filed?
Masha Gindler
3:13:08
I have exact numbers.
